welcome to my life

On the final full day of my spring vacation, we traveled back down to the Bay Area to visit one of my favorite cities in the entire world -- San Fransisco! Not only do I love the city for its crazy hills, beautiful houses and twisty streets, but the views at Pier 39 and the shopping downtown are incredible.

Needless to say, I did quite a bit of shopping on this final day in Cali! I got soooo many new clothing items that I can't wait to rock this spring, most of which I have been looking for for days. The best part? Most of the pieces were found at resale or thrift stores, or on sale at my favorite mall shops! I'm still debating whether I want to write up a haul post on the blog, or if I want to get adventurous and make my first vlog. Stay tuned ;).

This picture isn't the best, but I was soooo excited to finally get to step foot into an Express store that I thought it deserved one... even if I didn't buy anything there :(

Other than shopping, my boyfriend and I mainly spent this day wandering the streets of SF and gazing at the beautiful bridges and bay fronts that line the city. It was a nice way to end our week in Cali, but I still wish we could have stayed longer!

Before heading out of town the next day, we stopped by the American River for some sight-seeing and picture taking. Even though today was just a travel day I wanted to look cute, and I was so excited to try out some of my new purchases! This Brandy Melville Jada look-alike and floppy straw hat are going to be perfect for the warmer weather, and I can't wait to rock them this spring.

Thank you all so much for following along with me during my spring vacations! Keep linking me to your own spring break posts because I love reading them, and I want to have something to procrastinate on while this term starts tomorrow ;).

Stay tuned for my upcoming haul posts to check out everything I purchased during my trip!

Bonus: I got to pump my own gas for the first time today! (We don't pump our own gas here in Oregon -- a neat way to create more jobs!)
